Imaginary Authors Untamable — a fragrance with character
Untamable is an eau de parfum by Imaginary Authors, released in 2024.
This unisex composition is created for those who appreciate unusual combinations, a distinctive image and fragrances with a story of their own.
The name Untamable precisely conveys the fragrance’s mood: it does not try to be universally pleasing from the first seconds, but unfolds gradually, allowing the skin to highlight its individuality.
Imaginary Authors is a fragrance house from Portland, Oregon, founded in 2012 by self-taught perfumer Josh Meyer.
The brand’s philosophy is built on combining perfumery and literature: each release is perceived as an independent work with its own atmosphere, character and emotional plot.
Untamable continues this approach, offering not merely an everyday fragrance but a distinctive olfactory portrait of a free and independent character.
The character and development of the composition
Untamable is built around contrasting elements: the dry greenness of carnegiea, the spicy warmth of cumin, the soft sweetness of tonka bean and a deep leather accord.
Carnegiea adds a sense of desert space and sunlit vegetation, while leather makes the fragrance more composed, dark and textural.
Balsamic nuances soften the transitions between fresh, spicy and woody-warm facets.
On the skin, the fragrance feels restrained, slightly dusty and spicy, with noticeable dryness and a subtle hint of raw materials.
The leather accord does not turn Untamable into a heavy leather fragrance; rather, it gives it character and mature expressiveness.
Daisy and hay add a natural, almost meadow-like mood, keeping the oriental and fougère facets from becoming overloaded.
Longevity, sillage and application
Untamable has a soft, barely noticeable sillage, making it especially comfortable for personal spaces, the office and situations where you want to preserve your individuality without excessive projection.
Its character unfolds best up close, when those around you can pick out individual nuances only through direct contact.
Longevity and intensity will depend on skin type, temperature and the amount applied.
For a full development on the skin, spray it to create a light fragrance cloud: this distributes the composition evenly and makes it smell softer.
One or two sprays are enough on clothing, especially when wearing a dense fabric that holds eau de parfum well.
Untamable is suitable for cool spring days, autumn and mild winter. In summer, it is best applied sparingly and worn in the evening.
The perfumer and its place among similar fragrances
Perfumer Josh Meyer created the composition in the signature style of Imaginary Authors: here, it is not only the individual notes that matter, but also the overall mood.
His approach brings together green, spicy, floral, leathery, sweet and balsamic facets in an unusual unisex composition.
As a result, Untamable will appeal to women and men looking not for obvious freshness or sweetness, but for a more conceptual and textural fragrance.
In mood, Untamable can be compared with Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense, Bugatti Pureblack and Slumberhouse Sova.
At the same time, it retains an identity of its own: dry carnegiea, hay and cumin create a distinctive sense of wild open space, while leather and tonka make the scent warmer and more appealing.
It is an intriguing choice for discovering artistic perfumery and for those moments when you want to wear a mood in fragrance form rather than simply a pleasant scented backdrop.
